Michaels Grab Bag

So I went to Michaels just to see all the cool new Halloween stuff and also because I needed some cupcake cups.

I saw a bin full of $2 grab bags and I saw that some had cupcake cups. I picked a bag that had 2 packs of cupcake cups. Hey, thats $2 worth already. Everything else was bonus!

A Look into the girls room

We moved in late April but we soon left on Summer vacation and got back right before August. So, it still a work in progress. I have not had enough time to put up more art and I'm planning on making them matching bedding.

I got the hutch on craigslist. I needed more storage in their room and this is such a beautiful piece.

Sophie's bed and the toy box, not sure who made the afghan

Love the wall art. Its two fairies. One looks like Sophie (long brown hair) and one looks live Evie (short curly hair)

Night stand is from the thrift store

the vanity is also from the thrift store. I got it long time ago, before Sophie was born. The matching bench got broken after the move. The profile is Sophie, can't find Evie's but when I do, I plan on hanging each corresponding picture above each bed

I displayed the kitties from Sophie's birthday party on the vanity. The lamp is Martha Stewart Baby from Kmart that I got  before Nick was born! The vase behind the lamp I made when I use to do ceramics. (Can you spot Evie in the mirror? she was modeling some sunglasses)

I also displayed the banner from Evie's birthday party and the peach can vase that was used as centerpieces.

We are a total Disney Princess home!

So like I said, I still need to put up more art and make them some cute quilts. Not much I can do about the yucky apartment blinds and bland wall paint.
